Hi All,
I'm new to wet shaving with shaving soap and a brush and wondered what experiences people here have had with the Trumper products. Are they good for sensitive skin? The last shaving soap I used left me quite spotty. The prices seem very reasonable if the shaving soaps are of the same high standard as the fragrances, I love the EDT, EDP and even the deodorant of Eucris, although it took me years to truly appreciate it. Unfortunately the other fragrance I love from them (Spanish Leather Cologne) isn't available as a shaving soap, but I like the thought of using Sandalwood and Almond in that form. I've heard good things about the Almond but have never actually tried it and Sandalwood is a bit too intense and vanillic for me as a regular fragrance, but I wouldn't mind shaving with it.
Also wondered what their brushes were like and shaving brushes in general, as they don't have boar available. I only have a synthetic one from Razorock which seems pretty damn good but would like to try a natural one. Should I go for badger or boar and is there any animal suffering involved?
